Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

You have a lot of choices in the silicone ice pop mold category. These are the ones to buy, in my opinion. I bought a set of 10 similar, but cheaper, popsicle molds from another Amazon seller. The molds do the job, but are inferior. You can see in the photo these important differences (no, really). These molds are at the top of the photo, the cheaper molds are on the bottom. 1. The bottoms of these molds are rounded; whereas, the other molds have corners. It's way easier to clean a mold with a rounded bottom where popsicle bits (especially fudgsicle bits) and pieces of fruit can get stuck. The molds with corners harbor these little bits and are difficult to clean. 2. The bottom of these molds isn't flat. Again, it's more difficult to clean the cheaper molds because the bottoms are flat and hug close to the popsicle residue at the bottom of the mold. 3. The lids for these molds have more pronounced ridges. You could lay these molds, full of liquid, in your freezer. Laying the cheaper molds flat in your freezer is risky because the lids aren't as tight. 4. These molds stand up easily in between a freezer's grate. If your freezer has a grate in the middle, like a rack, you can prop these molds upright when they're freezing. The molds' wider bottom helps keep the mold from slipping through the grate. The cheaper molds with the flat bottoms slip right through the grate and then the lid pops off. You can circumvent this by providing the molds with something flat under the freezer shelf so they don't tip over, but you still must be careful. I think the silicone quality is good for both popsicle molds. There's no real difference that I can tell. Buy this popsicle mold brand: they're easier to clean and they are easier to use in the freezer.
